PARA BLES.

Earth sings her parallels OF loss and gain
In boldest speech,
Yet heights sublime which spirits shall at
tain
She cannot reach.
Aerial whispers float DER land and sea
ut doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Her royal puppies aud her crowns Of gold,
Her white attire,
The sceptered lilies which her summers
hold,
With flames afre-
All fail to show the glory we shall see
ut doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Who from unsightly bulb or slender root
Could guess Alright
The glory OF the flower, the fern, the fruit,
In summers height?
Through tremulous shadow voices call to
me,
at doth not yet appear what we shall be-"
Triumphant guesses from the seer and
soge
Through shadows dart,
And tender meanings on the poets page
Console the heart.
oh songs prophetic though sweet are ye,

Proposed Addition to the District.

proposed Addition TO the District.
EDITOR CRITIC: 1t has occurred to rue
within the last few days that 1t would be a
good thing for Virginia, being much ham
peIed with debt, to sell to the United States
a portion Of her territory, beginning near
our old Chain Bridge (known as Little
Falls), and extending in southeasterly di-
rection about half way to Alexandria, at
or near Four-Mile Run, the southeast cor
ner striking the Potomac. consider that
It would be q great acquisition to the Dis
trict, giving US control OF Arlington
Heights, the Potomac River, &C., without
injury to Virginia, but, on the contrary, to
her great help. Such bill would, no doubt,
find supporters In Congress and In the Vlr.
ginia Legislature. Let the United States
make liberal offer. Then there would be
no clashing OF interests with Virginia as to
the free use and control Of the Potomac
and the adjacent country. West Washing
ton with her Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
extended would become OF more value than
any portion Of the District, not under the
Washington code, but under general code
for all. Give us also territorial govern
ment with Republican and not monarchical
forms, as at present, and we could then
hold up our heads like free men, all with
the sanction OF Congress.

her features, though looking directly
into the mirror. She was, Of course,
much surprised and alarmed, and
called another lady in the room to
come and zee the light. Toe friend
did come, and saw, instead OF the light,
or rather, through the light, the face
and dress of the girl apparently photo
graphed upon the glass Both saw the
things rela ed The news Immediately
spread through the blu ld:ng-Which
wss the large anne hotel known a. the
G. A. r. HOUSE, the proprietress being
Mra. Powers, the mother OF the girl
who figures in this strange &C urTence.
Others SAW the pic u'e Of The young
lady apparently on the face Of the
mirror The fea uies, however, quiet
ly aud slowly faded away, but stripes
OF two different kinds, toat CORE
spond almost exactly in ne and color
with those in Miss Powers's
dress, still remained in the mirror
Many people came daily to view the
strange sight in the g ass, which,
strange ID say, could not be seen by
everybody, as perhaps two or three
persons out Of ten raw nothing. This
fact, it is argued, may be explaine d on
the ground of different slrer G h of
eyes. No satisfactory exp anation of
this mystery has yet been given,
though many parsons try 10 explain
the thing on some scientific g'ound or
pet theory OF their own. Some peo-
pie disbelieve the whole story. The
evidence, however, is 30 positive that
there is no reason .ble doubt of the
occurrence, nor that the stripes, ten or
twelve in number, were, and are still,
to be- seanin the mirror.
Miss Powers was at first much
alarmed over the occurrence, and
almost convinced that it was an evil
omen; but that feeling has passed
away, and she is apparently cheerful
and happy, ling to school as before
the strange experience overlook her.
She does not even quote the poets
| lines:
Art thou ghost, sweet sisterf
| Who knows2
Thy face lies white upon white SHOWS,
Dim, yet so fair.
1t might be added that the picture
appears only when the room is poorly
lighted by a lamp and the mirror
| hung on q wall.
